Chicago appeared poised to pick up the win. However, left
fielder Adam Engel -- who entered the game as a defensive
replacement -- dropped a fly ball in foul territory off the bat
of Stowers with two outs in the ninth inning. Given new life,
Stowers made the White Sox pay by depositing an 0-2 curveball
from Liam Hendriks over the wall in center field for his first
career homer.
Baltimore quickly put runners on the corners in the 11th inning
before Santander sent a deep fly ball to center field off Jake
Diekman (5-3) that allowed Cedric Mullins to score the winning
run.
Santander also belted a two-run homer in the first inning for
the Orioles.
Felix Bautista (4-3) picked up the win after retiring the side
in order in the 10th and 11th innings.
Chicago's Andrew Vaughn homered on the first pitch of the game
and Jose Abreu atoned for a two-error performance with a
go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning. Gavin Sheets collected
three hits for the White Sox, who have lost six of their last
eight games.
Chicago's Yoan Moncada, however, exited the game in the fifth
inning with a tight left hamstring. He appeared to suffer the
injury while charging a bunt in the second inning.
With the game tied at 2-2, Sheets ripped a one-out double to
right-center field off Dillon Tate in the eighth inning and
advanced to third on Luis Robert's groundout. Sheets was able to
trot home after Abreu bounced an RBI single past diving third
baseman Ramon Urias.
Baltimore claimed a 2-1 lead after Santander sent a 3-1 fastball
from Lance Lynn just over the out-of-town scoreboard in right
field. Santander's homer was his 22nd of the season and second
in his last six games.
Chicago forged a tie in the seventh inning after putting its
first two runners aboard before Romy Gonzalez scored following a
throwing error by second baseman Terrin Vavra.
